Wow I love it !!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for sharing it .
Way cool! This style of fiberglass seating was used in airports during the 1960's. It is interesting that you also have a single seat.
Thought you might be interested in this link to a similar item that has been restored:

Yes, These came from the local airport. Both of these pieces are in great shape. Does anyone know of the manufacturer?
If i could I would change out all of the chairs and the couch in my house and replace them with seats like these. Unfortunately i don't live alone and the other people living here might not like it so much. And then there's the trouble finding them...
I might be something Steelcase produced in the 70's. They made a similar design for a sofa and chair with end tables but with loose cushions. The bases were clear plexiglass to make it appear to float above the floor. They may have made something like yours for airports since it had the more durable molded seating.
